Use /rtp to leave spawn and begin in the active survival world.

Renewable Resource World

Disposable mining and gathering terrain for large-scale extraction, technical gameplay, and approved automation.

Playtime rewards

Daily activity and long-term milestones reward continued participation.

Cross-version support

ViaVersion provides compatibility across supported Java clients.

Proximity voice chat

Simple Voice Chat adds an optional proximity-based social layer.

Player Chest Shops

Set up player-run chest shops with signs, stock, and shop management tools to support local trading.

Purchasable perks

Consensual duels

Challenge other players using /duel in supported permanent worlds. Duels are unavailable in the Resource World.

03
Renewable resources

Resource World

The Resource World is TacNet’s renewable mining and gathering environment for large-scale resource collection, technical survival, and approved automation. Use the main world for permanent bases, claims, storage, farms, towns, and long-term projects.

Built for extraction

Player claims are disabled, there is no protected central hub, and the world is intended to be mined, altered, automated, and eventually replaced. Normal player-property rules still apply to player-made builds, storage, and other belongings between resets.

Automation-friendly

Baritone, MineScript, and other approved player-operated tools are welcome under TacNet’s normal automation policy. Separate bot accounts, including independent Mineflayer clients, require staff approval.

Safer long sessions

World-wide Keep Inventory is enabled, natural hostile spawning is disabled, and the world stays in permanent daytime with clear weather. PvP is disabled in the Resource World; the separate PvE Keep Inventory perk is not needed here.

Temporary by design

Resource World resets refresh terrain and materials. Move valuables and permanent projects back to the main world before a reset.

SharedNormal inventory, XP, economy, and Ender Chest carry between the main world and Resource World
Disabled herePvP and duels, player claims, /sethome, Resource World bed/anchor respawns, and Nether/End portal formation

04
Markets and progression

Economy & Trading

TacNet combines a server shop, player-run auctions, and chest shops. Server prices provide convenient options; players shape their own markets through trade.

Server Shop

Browse materials, building blocks, farming supplies, utility items, progression stock, and curated enchanted books.

/shop

Auction House

List items at a fixed price, place bids, and build a market around player supply and demand.

/ah

Player Chest Shops

Open a player-run shop using the supported chest-and-sign workflow. Configure a shop, manage its stock and prices, and let other players trade directly. Use /info shops in-game for the setup guide.

/info shops
05
Player-made destinations and progression

Warps, Perks & Duels

Share destinations, unlock convenience features, and opt into structured PvP. These systems complement land claims and the permanent-world economy.

Player Warps

Create public warps inside claims you own in Survival, the Nether, or the End. You start with three slots; permanent upgrades can raise the limit to five and then ten. Categories and descriptions help players find destinations.

/pwarp list

Perks & Upgrades

Browse priced quality-of-life unlocks, portable crafting tools, social actions, cosmetics, Ender Chest upgrades, and Player Warp limits. Check /perks for currently offered unlocks and prices.

/perks

Claim Flight

The unlockable /fly feature is limited to eligible claimed land and has boundary restrictions. It does not authorize flight cheats or unrestricted flight across the wilderness.

/fly

PvE Inventory Protection

An unlockable perk can preserve items on eligible deaths outside the Resource World. It is unavailable during active duels and briefly afterward; normal XP loss can still apply.

/info perks

Social organization

Clans

Clans are social groups for organizing players, coordinating projects, and communicating together. Land protection and other gameplay systems are handled separately from clan membership.

IncludedCreation, invitations, information, member lists, and clan chat
Not includedClan homes, private clan economies, shared clan storage, or forced clan PvP rules

07
Technical gameplay

Technical & Automation Policy

TacNet supports technical Minecraft, scripting, and responsible player-operated automation when they perform normal survival gameplay. Dedicated bot accounts require separate staff approval; hacked or cheat clients are not permitted. Ore/resource X-ray is restricted to the renewable Resource World.

  • Ore/resource X-ray in the renewable Resource World
  • Automated mining, building, and farming using purpose-built tools
  • Redstone machines and technical projects
  • Gameplay scripting and non-malicious macros
  • Technical building and quality-of-life mods such as Litematica, Tweakeroo, and MiniHUD

Prohibited

  • Hacked or cheat clients, including when used only for utility features
  • Combat assistance or automated combat cheats
  • Unauthorized movement and flight cheats (approved claim-flight perks remain subject to their restrictions)
  • Main Survival and Nether X-ray; player ESP, container/storage ESP, hidden-player tracking, and prohibited hidden-information tools everywhere
  • Crash exploits, abusive packet behavior, or deliberate lag machines
  • Automation intended to exploit, disrupt, or damage the server

Technical Mods & Automation

TacNet welcomes purpose-built quality-of-life mods, technical building tools, scripting, and legitimate automation. These recommendations are optional — an unmodified compatible Minecraft client can still join normally.

09
Community boundaries

Rules

TacNet supports technical gameplay, automation, competition, and player interaction while expecting players to respect each other and their property. Claims provide protection and make ownership clearer, but they do not define whether player property belongs to someone.

01

Player property

Clearly player-made builds, storage, farms, infrastructure, animals, and other property belong to the player or group that created them. Unclaimed player property is not automatically free to take, alter, or destroy.

02

PvP

PvP should generally be consensual or take place where combat is clearly expected. Use /duel for consensual fights in supported permanent worlds; the Resource World disables PvP. Repeated targeting or harassment remains prohibited.

03

Griefing, looting & abandoned property

Deliberate destruction, theft, sabotage, or interference intended to harm another player or their property is prohibited. Do not assume property is abandoned because its owner is inactive; contact staff before taking over, looting, modifying, or removing it.

04

Allowed technical gameplay

Baritone, pathfinding, MineScript, macros, technical building tools, and normal survival automation are allowed when used within the rest of the server rules. Dedicated bot accounts require separate approval where applicable.

05

Cheats & X-ray policy

Combat assistance, unauthorized movement or flight cheats, player ESP, container/storage ESP, hidden-player tracking, and similar cheats are prohibited. Legitimate restricted claim flight is permitted through TacNet’s perk. Ore/resource X-ray is allowed only in the renewable Resource World; Main Survival and Nether X-ray are prohibited.

06

No malicious automation or server abuse

Lag machines, crash attempts, packet flooding, abusive packet behavior, spam, and automation intended to harm server performance or other players are prohibited.

07

Economy & exploits

Do not exploit unintended item or money duplication, plugin bugs, conversion loops, or other unintended economic exploits. Explicitly configured mechanics are allowed. Direct player trades and auction mistakes are generally the players' responsibility.

08

Conduct & platform safety

Trash talk, rivalry, and competition are allowed. Doxxing, credible threats, targeted harassment, illegal content, or behavior that risks the server or platform are not.

09

Staff systems & protected regions

Do not bypass protected staff regions, administrative systems, moderation actions, or other server-owned protections. Staff may judge unusual situations based on context, intent, severity, repetition, circumstances, and impact.

10

Voice & recording

Voice chat follows the same conduct rules as text chat. Players may record gameplay, text, or voice using built-in or external tools; do not assume conversations are private.

Current release stage

Public Beta

The core server is live and playable. Public Beta gives TacNet room to observe real player behavior, market activity, automation load, and uncommon permission paths.

What may change

Economy prices, interface wording, performance limits, and small quality-of-life details.

What remains protected

Player data, world continuity, backups, and the established technical-survival direction.
